उत्तर
Magnifying power of a telescope is defined as the ratio of the angle subtended at the eye by the image formed at the least distance of distinct vision to the angle subtended at the eye by the object lying at infinity, when seen directly.
The formula for magnifying power is,
Magnifiying power,`M = - f_0/f_e (1 + f_e/D)`

Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows.
| There are two types of optical instruments: Microscopes and Telescopes. Microscopes are used to magnify very tiny objects whereas telescopes are used to study distant objects. Both of them deploy convex lenses. In his telescope, Newton used a large parabolic mirror to collect light from the stars and reduce aberrations. |
